Although there’s no saying the Jets are going to make a run at a Super Bowl anytime soon, they’re still not going to be half as bad as Saturday night’s showing. At least you’d better hope not, or it’s going to be a long year.

t’s no secret that the New York Jets offense lacked consistency last year and it has carried over into the first two games of this preseason, most recently in last night’s grotesque 26-3 loss to the New York Giants.

If you take into consideration the average Jets fan’s usual penchant for saying the sky is falling, Friday’s performance against the Bengals was a huge red flag. It wasn’t. In fact, it meant very little in the grand scheme of things.

Getting back to Cortland could not have come at a better time for the Jets. They are trying to turn the page on the locker room turmoil of a year ago as they look to regain the chemistry and the magic that they had during the first two years of the Rex Ryan era.

Otah spent four seasons with the Panthers after being a first-round draft choice in 2008. He started all 29 games that he played. But last season, he played in only four games, then went on injured reserve on Oct. 19 with a left knee injury.

The Jets open training camp July 26 and when Rex Ryan brings his team together, you can be certain that he will talk plenty about the New England Patriots and finding a way to supplant them in the AFC East.

The Jets have issues. No one is denying that fact. But somewhere along the line many people stopped judging them based on football decision and execution. They’ve already doomed the 2012 season. You all need to chill.
